Got a chance to speak with one of the distributors. According to him all of the new markets will be open to the limited editions such as KBS as well.

Lagunitas :banger

I'm sure it's in this thread (multiple times) but I finally got a hold of a six pack up in Chicago at Trader Joes --- ROCKIN!!!

Lagunitas what?
Favorites I've had so far are Hop Stoopid, Maximus and Lucky 13...


Opened up a bottle of Brux tonight. Really good. Have to admit I was scared to try it - first wild I've had. Seems really similar to Saison Dupont though. I would have to try them side by side but I'm not sure I would continue to pay 60% more than Dupont...

Is the Sam Adams Oktoberfest any good this year? It was horrible in 2010 and barely passable last year.

Hmmm...the Stone looks good. I just started stocking up on stouts/porters. Should be cool enough by Christmas to drink them around here.

Depends on what you like.. I have enjoyed them every year, although, you are correct, 2010 was not that great. I didn't mind 2011, and 2012 is pretty darn good, IMHO.

It was very good, just a hint of the peppers and nice smokiness.

I may pickup a 6er. In general, I think it is a very bad example of the Oktoberfest style (not as bad as Harpoon, though), but is usually decent in its own right.

A couple of pints of Green Flash West Coast IPA at the local pub. Love this stuff.

A lot of really solid beers there, not the least of which was Persica, really great beer.
